Real abstract

When visiting Uzbekistan I was overwhelmed by the intricate and colorful patterns used to adorn the mosques, madrasas and minarets. I got a stiff neck from shooting the domes in the Naqshbandi Mausoleum trying to find out whether two domes were identical. No they were not! See my Flickr album here. But then suddenly you look at a wall and all the color is gone. And you encounter strict black and white architectural details that are reminiscent of a modern minimalist artist:

And that was in the same Mausoleum which had the colorful domes.
Fascinating!

For more of my Uzbekistan images have a look here.
